Clothes Make The Man – Clothing Alarm

If your store really does have great customer service, you might not need clothing security tags. The service level will discourage shoplifters from attempting to steal inside your place of business. That being said, it really won’t matter if you have security tags on your clothes, if your employees decide not to give everyone that superior service level.

Take a shoplifting incident we had. A well-dressed man came into the store. He greeted and waved hello to all of the employees he came across. Because he was so outgoing and friendly, the employees completely disregarded him and ultimately did not provide any customer service.

When the clothing alarm went off the employees saw this man walking out the door with his arms piled full of clothes that had not been paid for. Can you imagine their shock and disbelief at what happened? It was in their hesitation that this man made a clean get-away.

Had the merchandise not had clothing security tags, they never would have even noticed. There would not have been a clothing alarm that made them look up to see what was going on. This is a situation where the perpetrator was going to steal regardless of how much clothing security there was. The only thing that would have stopped him was an employee actually giving excellent customer service.
